A successful break above the USD 15,600 resistance is a must for upside continuation. If it continues to struggle near USD 15,500 and USD 15,600, there are chances of a strong decline.
Ethereum price
Ethereum price started a steady rise after it settled above the USD 450 resistance. ETH is up over 2% and it is now trading well above USD 455. A successful close above the USD 460 resistance level may perhaps increase the chances of a break above the USD 468 and USD 470 resistance levels.
If there is a downside correction, the USD 455 level might provide support. The main support is now forming near the USD 450 level.
Bitcoin cash, chainlink and XRP price
Bitcoin cash price is down 3% and it is now trading below the USD 260 support level. BCH is holding the USD 255 support. If there are more losses, the next stop for the bears could be USD 250. On the upside, the USD 260 level is a short-term resistance. The main resistance is now near USD 265.
Chainlink (LINK) climbed steadily and it settled above the USD 12.80 and USD 13.00 resistance levels. The price is now trading above the USD 13.10 level and facing a minor hurdle near USD 13.35.
